ISLANDERS RECALL TAMBELLINI

The New York Islanders have recalled forward Jeff Tambellini from the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the American Hockey League. Tambellini is the Sound Tigers leading scorer this season with 22 goals and 22 assists for 44 points along with a +12 plus/minus rating all team bests.

Acquired at the trade deadline last year, the former first-round draft pick made the Islanders out of training camp and appeared in the team's first game of the season before eventually being sent to Bridgeport.
